"... his love for the sea was apparent as you 
walked into his office and saw the beautiful 
corals and shells that decorated his shelves. 
He loved to take students to the Woods Hole

love and passion for the marine environ- 
ment, "

In respectful memory of his dedication to Simmons College, his love of learning, 

his intellectualism, his enthusiasm, and his personal courage, 

we dedicate this volume of The Microcosm to

World Events 



Annual Events in the Simmons calendar serve a 
number of purposes. Social events bring our commu- 
nity together in joyous celebration. Educational 
events may both challenge and enlighten us to dis- 
cover who we are and what we believe in shared 
intellectual experiences with others. Spiritually, we 
provide ourselves with time to reflect on and cel- 
ebrate that which makes us what we are, and helps us 
find peace in times when our community is troubled. 
We acknowledge our physical strength as women 
through outdoor and athletic events, rallying behind 
each participant, her team, and the College itself. All 
of these events serve to enhance our educational 
experience and contribute to the world of Simmons 
College.

The Head of The Charles Regatta 




October 24, 1 993 was not one of many beautiful days made 
for racing during this year's crew season. For spectators at 
the 29th annual Head of the Charles Regatta, it was sunny 
with a little breeze that tassled their hair. For rowers, the 
sun was blinding and the strong gale made rowing impos- 
sible during parts of the race. The head wind pushed the 
rowers back toward the start and provided a challenge to 
coxswains. It was increasingly difficult to steer through 
bridges and pass other boats. Even though it was rough 
going for the 4,000 rowers and coxsawins who partici- 
pated in this year's race, it was a perfect day for the 250,000 
crew fans and supporters on shore. 

Simmons Crew entered a varsity club eight and a youth 
four. There was some ambiguity surrounding the score of 
the varisty eight. At first it was thought they had placed 
16th out of 39, until a penalty on another boat pushed 
Simmons up into 1 5th, a goal they had set for the day. Two 
months later, at the fall sports dinner, rowers and guests 
were informed they had actually placed 13th. The youth 
four finished the Regatta 29th out of 33 boats. 

The Head of the Charles is the largest annual one-day 
regatta, attracting competitors from around the world. The 
winding 2.8 mile course is plotted with bridges, making it 
particularly difficult to avoid boat collisions. The banks of 
the Charles are filled with vendors, spectators, curiousity 
seekers, anxious rowers, and of course, lots of boats. All 
of these factors added to the excitement of the race. There 
is a certain feel in the air that provides a unique atmo- 
sphere, which no competitor can ever forget.

LEADERSHIP WEEKEND 



| LEAD THE WAY | 

In September, 1993, the Student Activities Center. Office of Resi- 
dence Life and Student Government Association combined forces to 
sponsor a weekend-long retreat for student leaders. Workshop 
sessions focused on campus-wide concerns regarding recruitment 
and retention of organization members, publicity and public rela- 
tions for student organizations, and overall effectiveness of student 
groups. Organizations also had the opportunity to meet separately 
to set goals for the academic year.

Jean Dowdall was installed as the fifth presi-

noon, November 6, 1993. In a weekend of 
events which included programs for both 
Inauguration and Parents' Weekends, the in- 
stallation ceremony at Symphony Hall served 
as the centerpiece of this historic weekend. 
Music was provided by the Mendelssohn 
Club of Philadelphia, the Simmons Chorale, 
and Paramount Brass. Dr. Dowdall was 
formally welcomed by representatives of 
Simmons' many smaller worlds, from the 
Corporation to the student body. After being 
invested with the Presidential Medallion by 
Chair of the Corporation Joan Melber 
Warburg. Dr. Dowdall addressed those as- 
sembled with her vision for the Simmons

"1 have a fundamental commitment to women, as 
so many of us in the Simmons community do. In 
the 19th Century, men like John Simmons spoke 
for women. In the late 20th Century, as women 
we speak for ourselves, and we seek to support 
the rights and opportunities of women every- 
where. We speak and work in valued partner- 
ship with women everywhere. We speak and 
work in valued partnership with many men -- 
men within the Simmons community who seem to 
me to have a particular regard for women, and 
who take a particular pride in being part of a 
community in which women are so prominent. 
But nonetheless our voices, as women, are 
distinctive... 

"Among the most important of my values is my 
conviction that an education of quality must he 
an education that welcomes diversity. The 
canon of great books must evolve and expand, 
and our curriculum and pedagogy must be 
inclusive. The voices we hear within the 
Simmons community must reflect the multiplicity 
of voices that seek to be heard around the 
country and around the world, or else our 
message — the education we provide -- is incom- 
plete. " Jean A. Dowdall, President.

Mother/Daughter Weekend 

December 3-5, 1993 



The Class of 1994 welcomed both 
their mothers and their daughters to 
campus during the first weekend in 
December. The event, chaired by 
Courtney Larson, '94 and coordi- 
nated by a committee of ten seniors, 
included luncheon at the Copley 
Marriott and brunch at the home of 
President Jean and Dr. George 
Dowdall. Besides the traditional 
events, the committee made some 
additions to personalize the event. 
Senior Amy Anderson was selected 
as the luncheon speaker, and seniors 
compiled photos of themselves and 
their families for a moving slide 
show.

Father/Daughter Weekend 
February 25-27, 1994 




Father/Daughter Weekend, in- 
cluding both the Senior and 
Sophomore Classes, was held 
in the middle of Boston's long- 
est and coldest winter. The 
MarkGreel Sextet entertained 
participants at the Marriott 
Long Wharf during the Satur- 
day night dinner dance. As an 
alternative, 35 couples at- 
tended a Murder Mystery cafe 
where the audience becomes 
part of the show. This year's 
schedule included a scaven- 
ger hunt, where fathers and 
daughters competed to be the 
first to find such items as a 
matchbook from Pizzeria Uno 
and receipts from Tower 
Records. What a way to see 
the citv!

Coming Up In 
The World 



Underclasswomen will not be outdone by their se- 
niors. Simmons students begin demonstrating their 
skills immediately upon entering our doors, and 
underclasswomen currently hold a number of valu- 
able leadership positions on campus, in and out of the 
classroom, on and off campus. The following is a 
scrapbook of sorts of 1993-1994 through the eyes of 
our Freshwomen, Sophomores, and Juniors. In the 
coming years their individual portraits will grace 
future volumes; their courses of study and extra- 
curricular involvement will be recorded as part of the 
history of our College. They may be "coming up in 
the world," but they are coming fast. They are 
coming strong. They are making a difference.

For students transferring into the College, Orienta- 
tion helps form a kind of "fifth class" of 
freshwomen, sophomores and juniors who have one 
thing in common right away: for a variety of rea- 
sons, they have chosen to leave their former institu- 
tions and start anew at Simmons. Administrative 
tasks and credit evaluations were balanced this vear 
with social events coordinated by the Orientation 
Staff and Transfer Liaison, such as off-campus trips 
and Movie Night in Smith Hall Lounge.

A World of 
Activity 



As we write our resumes in the next few months, as 
we begin looking for those summer jobs, those senior 
internships, those field work placement positions, 
we will no doubt be surprised to discover the practi- 
cal applications of our "extracurricular" experiences. 
What may have begun as a search for something fun 
to balance out our coursework, or as a social or 
political cause we thought deserved time and atten- 
tion, has suddenly become "prior experience," and 
we say (somewhat smugly) we learned it all the hard 
way. Over 70 student organizations are recognized 
by Simmons Student Government, several of which 
are represented here as a sampling of what Simmons 
women can do with a few tools, an eager member- 
ship, and good old-fashioned stamina.

As institutional members of NACA, Simmons students are provided the 
opportunity to learn leadership and programming skills, interact with other 
college programming boards, and review new performers on behalf of their 
campus through regional conferences and workshops. This year, members 
of the Quadside Committee and Activities Programming Board attended the 
New England Regional Conference in Danvers, MA. Creative problem- 
solving techniques were explored, and participants were treated to nightly 
performances by comedians, bands, novelty acts, and performing arts of 
many styles and cultures, not to mention the unusual medieval banquet and 
Lip Synch contest.

Staff at the SAC discuss upcoming events 



The Student Activities Center (SAC) is the nerve center of campus activities. Here one 
finds organization treasurers counting out the day's returns from fundraisers, or waiting 
in line for the Student Business Manager to verify paperwork and expense requests. 
Organizations and administrative departments depend on the center's Graphic Designer 
to assist with publicity for special events, while individuals from all walks of the 
community make use of the Activities Box Office for everything from T passes and 
stamps to reduced theatre tickets. The pace never lets up, even after hours, when the 
Student Activities professional staff and graduate assistants get to work on leadership 
training sessions, special events planning, all-campus annual events and organizational 
advising.

Multicultural Organizations 

on Campus 



Throughout the year, in all areas of our campus, student organi- 
zations present social, educational, and service programs dedi- 
cated to a particular cultural focus, be it defined by racial, ethnic, 
national, or sexual identity. Events pictured here are just a 
sampling of such events and programs provided by students for 
students. 

This year's Asian Student Association boasted over thirty active 
members, participating in such events as a Big Sister/Little 
Sister Workshop, hospitality night, and travel trips. 

The Hellenic Association became active again this year, though 
membership was slight. Successful fundraisers enabled them to 
sponsor an alumnae dinner, and organization leaders planned to 
increase member participation. 

A trip to the Boston International Festival was a highlight for 
participants in International Student Association events. ISA 
members focused on "cultural dialogue" this year, attempting to 
learn more about each other's cultures and traditions, while 
involving American students and other cultural organizations. 

The Black Student Organization, one of the oldest student 
organizations on campus, maintained a high profile all year, 
balancing their events calendar between educational and social 
events. BSOs greatest success was getting involved with other 
organizations and college departments to coordinate all-campus 
events concerning African-American History and cultural cel- 
ebrations. Many events, such as Kwanzaa Week are profiled 
elsewhere in this book; other events included Orientation in- 
volvement, a fashion show and fundraiser, lecture on AIDS, 
teas, featuring Ed Gaskin and other speakers, the Sadie Hawkins 
Day dance,Brown vs. the Board of Education, and special 
events for graduating seniors, such as Our Little Black Book. 

The Lesbian Bisexual Association increased its membership in 
1993-1994 and continued its involvement in GALA Week 
events. An aggressive flier campaign on "heterosexual privi- 
lege" got many people talking, as did bulletin board programs on 
hate language vs. freedom of speech. Activity in the Women's 
Center increased, as did co-sponsorship with the Feminist Union. 

While multicultural organizations provide community support 
and leadership opportunities for students of that cultural iden- 
tity, their role in the larger community can not be discounted. 
Through the leadership and programming efforts of these orga- 
nizations, the world of Simmons is expanded, enlightened, and 
intertwined.

Expressing Our Faith 



Spiritual activity on campus seems quiet 
to many of us, but students involved in 
these organizations find many opportu- 
nities to celebrate their faith and to meet 
other students with common interests. 
This year's Hillel membership focused 
on social events, such as their billiards 
party and ice cream social. There were 
plenty of intellectual activities as well, 
from discussions led by advisor Anne 
Mierowitz to fellow student Jenny 
Goldman's reflections on her trip to Is- 
rael. Of course, Holy Days and Shabbats 
were celebrated as well, and spring se- 
mester plans included a group trip to the 
new Holocaust Museum in our nation's 
capital. 

Meanwhile, Christian Fellowship held 
Bible Study groups for its members, and 
informal discussions on issues facing 
them as college students and Christians. 
Members of both organizations advo- 
cated for increased use of the Campus 
Ministries Office, and reached out to 
new students looking for spiritual and 
religious outlets, both on and off campus.

Political Activism 



Political activism is not dead. College students of the 90's are getting involved in social 
and political causes with old-fashioned spirit in all-new ways. Student organizations 
highlighted here are only a few examples of the ways that special interests are addressed 
on and off campus. 

This year's Feminist Union continued its dedication to issues of domestic violence by co- 
sponsoring the campus' Domestic Violence Awareness Week and participating in the Jane 
Doe Fund's Walk For Women's Safety, which supports shelters and other assistance 
programs in the Boston area. Members also walked for Breast Cancer Research and 
presented speakers on the subject on campus. The Union also took an international interest 
in women in Palestine and Israel; lectures and discussions on this topic were well attended. 

The Model UN prepared to attend the annual conference in New York, where participants 
represented the nation of Belarus. 

Voice for the Voiceless became Simmons' newest recognized organization this year, 
dedicating its energies to educating the community on alternatives to abortion in instances 
of unplanned pregnancy.

Chorale and Sirens provided music throughout the year at a variety of special events and concerts, both 
on and off campus. Chorale's annual holiday and spring concerts were repeated this year, with the 
addition of a concert for faculty held in Trustman Art Gallery. Simmons Chorale was especially honored 
to perform at the Inauguration of President Dowdall. The Sirens continued their tradition of bringing 
popular a cappella music to campus while working with other similar college groups in New England. 
Among Sirens' "gigs" this year were an appearance at all-campus tea, Mother-Daughter Weekend, bi- 
annual concerts in Alumnae Hall and Quadside, and several off-campus appearances.

For new students, the Transfer Liaison pro- 
vided immediate contacts and community sup- 
port during both fall and spring Orientation 
sessions. Comprised mostly of students who 
transferred to Simmons from other colleges 
and universities, the Transfer Liaison worked 
closely with Admissions counselors on issues 
regarding transfer students, assisted with Ori- 
entation programs, even provided advice and 
assistance to students considering transferring 
out of Simmons College. 

Simmons Community Outreach enjoyed a 
banner year in 1993-1994. Record numbers of 
participants "stepped out to serve" in one-day 
community service projects and fundraising 
activities, the centerpiece of which occured 
during Inauguration/Parents' Weekend events. 
Parents, staff, alumnae, and students worked 
together on special projects, bringing Simmons 
College and the outside world closer together. 



Students and Alumnae also met through the 
efforts of the Student Alumnae Association, 
an SGA organization that helps current stu- 
dents and Simmons graduates find each other 
through seminars, mentor programs, and net- 
working travel trips.

All-Campus Programming 




Saving a life feels good at APB's annual blood drive 




Programming for the Simmons commu- 
nity is never an easy task — trying to 
provide educational and social events 
for our community can be time-consum- 
ing, frustrating, even exhausting. It can 
also be extremely fulfilling, as members 
of the Activities Programming Board 
and Quadside Committee discovered this 
year. Quadside programmers tried new 
ideas this year, such as the Mystery Cafe 
program pictured here, and brought back 
popular events from last year, such as 
Talent Night and the Tezuka Film Festi- 
val. The new young membership of 
APB focused its lecture series on civil 
rights while co-sponsoring with other 
groups to enhance awareness weeks such 
as Domestic Violence and Kwanzaa. 
Students enjoyed attending Boston Bal- 
let performances, and rallied to assist in 
biannual blood drives for the American 
Red Cross.

Student Publications and 

Media 



Student Activities fees support three print publications 
and one very determined (but not on-air) radio station. 
The Simmons News is published weekly and distrib- 
uted at no cost to the Simmons Community. Also 
distributed at no cost is the literary journal Sidelines. 
featuring original works by students, including art and 
photograph}'. The college yearbook. Microcosm, was 
pre-sold to students and their families as well as sold on 
campus in the spring semester. Seniors eagerly await 
a summer supplement which will highlight Commence- 
ment Week events and other spring activities. All three 
publications work within the crowded Student Publica- 
tions Office, sometimes all in production at once. 
WISM (also known as Radio for Simmons) made 
finding space (crowded or otherwise) its number one 
priority this year as they continued their quest to 
provide closed-circuit radio transmission and broad- 
casting experience to the student body. Members of 
WISM. with the assistance of Student Activities, pre- 
pared a proposal of their long and short-term needs in 
order to put the station on the air.

SGA took on a variety of issues and projects, some 
of which broke new ground, while others were 
continuations of on-going concerns. SGA coordi- 
nated forums with President Dowdall and other 
guests to allow individual students a voice with 
the administration. SGA continued to advocate 
for the building of a new Student Activities Center 
in the MCB, surveyed the student body regarding 
changes within the curriculum, reviewed pro- 
posed changes in the College alochol policy, and 
debated freedom of expression issues around the 
recognition of a new student organization.

Wide World 
of Sports 

One luxury the athlete at a women's college can count 
on is receiving one hundred percent of the athletics 
dollar. It is not uncommon for women's athletics to 
suffer on the co-educational campus: women's teams 
are issued the less desireable playing fields, practice 
times, uniforms, and equipment. Many women will 
tell you that being considered first class athletes by 
their institutions was a deciding factor in their deci- 
sion to attend a women's college. It is important to 
remember, too, that the Simmons athlete is not al- 
ways found wearing the team uniform. She is often 
striving for her personal best in early morning hours 
in the sports center and strenuous and solitary runs 
calculated in city miles. We salute this brave, and 
mostly undercelebrated, world of Simmons College.

In the Fall of 1993. the Residence Cam- 
pus sports center, which opened in the 
Spring of 1989. was named in honor of 
the College's 4th president, William J. 
Holmes. The Holmes Sports Center, 
reknowned for its architecture and state 
of the art design, serves the Simmons 
Community, its alumni, their guests, and 
invited members of the Fenway and 
Medical Community. In addition to re- 
quired Physical Education courses (in- 
cluding aerobic and modern dance, bad- 
minton, fencing, sailing, squash, racquet- 
ball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, yoga, 
and jogging), students can take advan- 
tage of workouts in the weight room, 
basketball and squash courts, pool, and 
indoor track. While Simmons currently 
lacks an intramural sports program, a 
newly formed Athletics Committee 
named this as one of its goals, as Athlet- 
ics prepared to join the Division of Stu- 
dent Life in 1994.

Simmons' tennis team began its season September 1 1 
against Colby-Sawyer, and in the beginning, met with 
frustrating results. By their third match, however, this 
year's team presented a more unified front, defeating 
Regis College and Suffolk University in back-to-back 
matches at home. The young team , which featured four 
freshwomen and few upperclass athletes, struggled 
against Emmanuel College, but gained lost ground during 
the doubles matches. In spite of such an early starting 
season, and a prevailing number of new team members, 
Simmons Tennis ended its season proudly under the 
guidance of coach Karen Naylor.

Field Hockey 



B SB HI IB: 






As Preseason '93 commenced, the improved strength 
of returning players was evident, and the comple- 
mentary strength of the Class of 1 997 was welcome. 
Each player made improvements in her game at 
various stages throughout the season, which led to 
some very exciting hockey. Tri-Captains Jessica 
Bryam, Kara LeBlanc, and Karen Krzywda proved 
strong leaders on and off the field. Krzywda re- 
peated as high scorer for the team, and improved in 
her assists. She led a strong forward line which 
consisted of tri-captain Bryam. who made a move 
from a defensive backfielder to an offensive threat 
in the earlier part of the season. Alyson McGowan 
added power as second leading scorer on the team. 
Strong and tenacious play was given by forwards 
Amy Dougherty. Jackie Poirier. Krister) Guevara, 
Deb Lary and Dawn McKinley. 
The results of a team made up of nine freshw omen. 
nine sophomores, and one senior was an 8-6-0 
season, bettering last year's record. The season's 
highlight was a physically and mentally tough game 
against Fitchburg State University. Though 
Simmons was defeated 1 -2. the players showed both 
heart and pride. Simmons placed third in this \ ear's 
New England Women's Athletic Council, and five 
individual players were named to the All-Confer- 
ence team — the largest representation of an) team 
in the conference tournament. Congratulations go 
to Karen Krzywda. Kara LeBlanc. Karen O'Reilh . 
Karen Peixe. and Kara Drake. Cheers also to coach 
Kimberly Koh and Manager Carry McFee. 



Crew 




1993- 1994 Crew Team 





^ 



The 1993 - 1994 Crew season was one of the 
most successful years since the team was 
founded in 1978. Races were strong, in spite of 
the fact that the varsity squad consisted of only 
eleven members. The novice squad was a polar 
opposite, with close to thirty rowers and four 
coxswains. 

The team practiced on the Charles River until 
mid-November. When the dock at the Boston 
University Boathouse (where Simmons Crew 
practices) began to get slippery from ice, the 
team moved inside for winter training. 
Over Spring Break, the team traveled to South 
Carolina for a week of warm weather and a 
chance to sit in a boat again. Southern training 
gave them a head start over many crews, who 
do not get on the water until the ice has cleared. 
The spring season christened a brand new boat, 
and the year ended solidly after many strong 
races at home and away.

"If I were going to give the college a million dollars, I would have them spend it on the 
Crew Team. We could use a few new boats, " Christine Collins, '96

Basketball 




bird's eye view 




After a difficult season opener, 
this year's basketball team took 
some time for extra practicing 
and preparation for the spring 
semester's games. The team 
quickly found their strength 
again in a game against Colby- 
Sawyer which found them sim- 
ply "outinched" by their 6 foot 
tall opponents. An easy win 
against the Lions of Emerson 
College gave them passing and 
rebound practice, and in the end 
only Emerson's foul shots could 
help close the fifty point spread. 
This year's highlight belongs to 
Heather Ross, who made Sim- 
mons history by scoring her 
1000th point in a game against 
Rivier College. Heather's foul 
shot stopped the game, and even 
Rivier players applauded her 
accomplishment. 



"Never sit to rest until your 
good is better and your better 
is best, " Heather Ross, '94

The Worlds 
Within 



Ask a random sampling to describe the Simmons 
student body, and you may be surprised at the variety 
of answers you'll get. That's because, as we keep 
reminding you, the world of Simmons College is 
many worlds within one. If you live on campus, or 
off; if you are from the next town or oceans away; if 
you are 17 or 47; your view of Simmons will be 
affected. As our student body becomes even more 
diversified, we as the Simmons Community are some- 
times more drawn to point our differences than our 
similarities. Because our worlds overlap, however, 
we can continue to learn from and influence those 
who know a different side of Simmons than we do, 
and eventually come to cherish the "sameness" of 
being sisters of Simmons College, even as we ac- 
knowledge and celebrate that which keeps us indi- 
viduals.

't Simmons is 
ico Rechy, '95 



The fond memories of residence hall life : a captive audience of friends, hall activities, the 
support of your residence life staff, the freedom and security of a (nearly) independent 
lifestyle. The stories we like to tell: scary roommates, unexpected "pets." the hall flu epi 
demic, banging radiators, Cap'n Crunch for dinner 4 nights a week. What will eventual!) 
translate as the best of times and the worst of times as we recall our college experiences can 
be summed up in the simple statement "I lived on campus." Some "Residence Hall Speak." 
however, belongs only to the world that is Simmons, and bears some translating for the 
uninitiated. 1993- 1994 was the year that Morse Hall "went off-line," as the saying goes, 
meaning that it was closed to Simmons students, and housed instead a full community of 
L.I.F.E. (that is. Language Institute For English) students, who coordinated programs and 
activities with the other halls. North Hall continued to be home to resident graduate 
students, in larger numbers than ever before: several other graduate students joined our 
residence community this year in the form of a new fleet of Resident Directors t,RDsV The 
Residence Life staff bid farewell to Director Meg Wischer. but welcomed Assistant Director 
Georgette Green-Hodnett by year's end. The Evans Hall "democratic community" was 
refocused but continued to be a unique corner of our campus w here tea is held on Monda\ 
nights and where the BSO Lounge and Kosher Kitchen continued to sen e their respecth e 
communities. 



Off-Campus 




CSA President Tracy Antonelli 

represents off-campus students on 

SGA issues 



There is no one world of "off-campus life." There is the commuter 
life: living out of town with the family (the one that raised you or the 
one you're raising); at one with the MBTA; looking for ways to beat 
the parking lot line on Louis Pasteur; lockers and library carrels and 
naps in the lounge. There is the Boston life: "cozy" studio apartments, 
the Star Market grocery run, the thrill of Marshall's in the Back Bay. 
For most of us it is part-time jobs and full-time studies, weekend study 
groups, late night carpools, getting to know each other on the Security 
van. 

This year's off-campus students began dialogues with new college 
administrators which examined current issues of concern to off- 
campus students and began looking for ways to address those con- 
cerns. 

Commuter Student Advisors and the Commuter Association spon- 
sored social events and community service, reaching out especially to 
new students during Orientation and advising sessions. Annual 
events such as Hallowgrams, "Twice-Told Tales" Book Sale, New 
Student Dinner and holiday parties were successful, as usual. Teas 
were also sponsored during the semester, mirroring the Friday After- 
noon Tea program on the Residence Campus. 




Commuter Association members volunteered their time to the Big Sisters Asso- 
ciation of Boston, coordinating a haunted House and assisting with their annual 
Hallowe'en party

Off-campus students were relieved to learn that plans for a new Activi- 
ties Center would include a lounge and office space for commuters.

The Fens may be crowded, but 

there is always study space in the 

lounge! 




Gossip, tutoring, and networking are all in the spirit of Lounge Atmosphere 







Stud}/ 



Stepping outside of our micro- 
cosm, we go to seek a different 
side of the world. Some of 
Simmons' students are given the 
opprtunity to learn about differ- 
ent cultures, and study in those 
foreign lands. The semester 
abroad program has been an out- 
let for our fellow collegues who 
want that extra special opportu- 
nity to travel before they gradu- 
ate. They are more independent 
at this stage of their life than any 
other time.The memories they 
acquire will stay with them 
throughout their lives as some of 
their best.

"The experience of a lifetime 
SEA (Sea Education Associa 
tion) semester abroad com 
bined the worlds of science 
and humanities with a uniqui 
adventure in sailing! When 
else could you be on ;

Abroad 



Valerie Anderson, 1995 

Studying in Strasbourg, France 

Majoring in Economics and French 

"Thinking about spending six months in 
another country is really scary. I'll really 
miss Boston, all my friends and my family. 
I have no idea of what to expect when I get 
where I'm going." 



Study abroad opportunities grew by one nation 
this year when the African American Studies 
department completed the groundwork necessary 
to offer a travel/study program at the University of 
Ghana in Legon, located in West Africa. Though 
the University is an English-speaking campus, 
participants will take courses in Ghana's language 
and history. The development of the Ghana study 
program was born out of student efforts, and 
supported by the African American Studies 
department. The Ghana program joins other study 
abroad programs mentioned here, as well as study 
opportunities in Spain and England. Other 
exchange programs offered to a limited number of 
students include semesters at Mills and Spelman 
Colleges, Fisk University, and American 
University in Washington. DC. More locally, 
students have spent exchange semesters at Hebrew 
College and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. 



Stephanie Hansen. 1995 

Studying in Strasburg. Italy 

Majoring in Economics 

"It's scary going to another coun- 
try, but I know that once I get there 
I'll have the best time of my life. 
The Italian culture is really exciting 
and mysterious. It'll be a really 
cool experience."

room in Arnold Hall.

The Dorothea Lynde Dix Scholars Program 



Information from the newly named Dorothea 
Dix Scholars Programs proudly proclaims that it 
"...is one of New England's oldest and most 
successful undergraduate programs for women 
beyond the age of traditional college students. 
Begun in 1964. it was originally called the 
Simmons College Continuing Education Pro- 
gram. To date, hundreds of women have com- 
pleted their undergraduate course work and ob- 
tained their baccalaureate degrees. ..through this 
uinque program." While meeting their aca- 
demic goals, Dix Scholars also find they in- 
crease their self-esteem and gain a sense of 
empowerment which, in turn, leads to more 
challenging, interesting lives. Approximately 
1 6% of the 1 400 undergraduate student body are 
Dix Scholars; this year's graduating class in- 
cluded over 60 of them. 

V J 




Director Jean Heaton speaks with a prospective student. 




"Being a Dix Scholar is: 

Support 

Understanding 

Patience 

Time 

Love 

Respect 

I 
Great!" 

Heather Harrison-Catledge, '94 



A Dix Scholar takes time out of her day to enjoy the Browsing 
Room in Beatley Library. 



"Being a Dix Scholar is 
part hard work and part pure 
joy. It is knowing I am ex- 
actly where I am supposed 
to be at this exact time in my 
life, " Carol Porter, '94 




Coffee Talk in the Shepherd Room was a nice time for them to chat. 



Academic Life for the Undergraduates 




The sun always makes it nicer to study outside! 



Although Simmons offers man\ op- 
portunities to be involved in extra- 
curricularactivities, students are knoun 
to give priority to academic commit- 
ments. Studying three hours for ever) 
hour of class can be tough, but the) 
always seem to find a different place to 
study and pass the time. Between 
Beatley Library, bedrooms, the sunny 
quad at the residence campus or out- 
side by the Simmons parking lot. stu- 
dents can always find a comfortable 
place to unload the books for a few 
hours. 



"One thing I would never change about 
Simmons is the fact that it is a thriving All- 
Women college!! " 

Anne Lathrop, '96 





Taking time out to just read a good book. 



Comparing notes with classmates can make the time fly by! 




World 
Leaders 






Everyone says that the friendships we make in col- 
lege will last a lifetime. The other connection that 
lasts, even if only in our memories, is the connection 
we may make with an instructor, and advisor, super- 
visor, administrator or coach who touches our lives in 
a lasting way. As we discover our own potential for 
leadership, we grow to admire the accomplishments 
and contributions made by our teaching faculty and 
administrative staff. As a small institution, Simmons 
is able to boast of the individual contacts students will 
make with these members of our community. They 
have been our strongest supporters, or strictest critics, 
and often our dearest friends.

You entered Simmons College with athletic 
challenge, wondering if the college schedule 
included gym and tanning. 

Juggling has been mastered with astute efficiency, 
combining commuting, studying, and the hard work 
of providing your own financial plan. 

You have written your own collegiate survivor's 
guidebook while maintaining admirable grade levels. 

You are an accomplished success.

Out in the World 



After nearly 100 inches of snow and a 
lost count of school and class closings, 
Spring arrived in 1994 and was warmly 
received. For the communities of 
Simmons College, springtime is a sea- 
son of mixed emotions: anticipation and 
anxiety, relief and regret, pride and 
panic, freedom and fear. We bid fare- 
well to the Class of 1994 and congratu- 
lated the rising senior class as they 
were appointed and elected to leader- 
ship positions. We welcomed home our 
students abroad, on exchange, or in- 
ternships, and prepared for others to be 
absent in the fall. Athletes completed 
their competitive seasons, student ac- 
complishments were celebrated, the 
campus' favorite social and educational 
events were as successful as ever, and 
of course... there was Senior Week. The 
following pages help capture those last 
days before we went out into the world. 





Valentine's Day 



Ball 





Guests at the Park Plaza found plenty of entertainment 



/ \ 

Activities Programming Board's 

13th annual Valentine's Ball saw 
an unprecedented number of 
single attendants. Student were 
encouraged to come with groups 
of friends, friends from other 
college's, and (of course) valen- 
tines. DJs At Large provided 
music until lam to a crowd of 
400. 




Arnold HalTs 



Pub Night 




Students from neighboring schools and the L.I.F.E. 
program came to party with the women of Simmons! 



T\ 



Arnold Hall, co-sponsoring with 
Smith Hall and the L.I.F.E. pro- 
gram, threw their annual spring 
party this year on Saturday, March 
18, 1994 in Alumnae Hall. 
Entitled "Pub Night," the gathering 
combined a DJ, live-band, and 50 
cent drafts with some leftover St. 
Patrick's Day spirit into Arnold's 
most successful party in over two 
jyears. ^ 





'You may only get one beer at a 
time!" 






Women 






Above: Faculty and students join to hear the story of 
Bread and Roses on March 22, sponsored by the 
Feminist Union, Women's Studies, History and English 
departments. Right: The Simmons Sirens perform at 
Bread and Roses as well as Women's Talent Night.

The Department of Athletics and Physical Education closed 
its academic year with a Spring Sports banquet attended by 
athletes, coaches, and their supporters and families. Boosters 
who had volunteered for the "Adopt-a-Team" program con- 
tinued to cheer their athletes on as individual and team efforts 
were recognized. Both Laura Marcotte and Catherine Boehm 
were acknowledged as outstanding scholar/athletes, an honor 
typically bestowed on only one senior.

"You have till 8 P.M. to bring as many of the items 
listed back as you can! Wear your togas for extra 
points!" Simmons Cup 1994 began with the scavenger 
hunt. The next morning, the DJ was on the quad, and 
people appeared from many Boston colleges to join in 
the day's events. Activities ranged from the 10-legged 
race to "spit in the cup." to finishing up with the clothes 
line, where people "bared" the cold weather just to get 
a chance at winning the cup. Smith Hall came in first 
place for the second year in a row.

Simmons celebrated "A Decade a Day " 
during this year's Spring Spree Weekend, 
which kicked off Friday evening with a 
Psychic Fair in salute to the 1960's. Sev- 
enties funk was performed live by The 
Gap Band Saturday afternoon on the Quad. 
The weekend ended on Sunday after The 
Totally Eighties Brunch and Trivia con- 
test broke down into a conga line that 
walked like an Egyptian around Bartol 
Hall. 






The College's longest-standing tradition was celebrated on a chilly 
Monday morning. Members of the Class of 1996 danced the May 
Pole to mark the coming of Spring and honor the graduating class. 
Simmons students have annually danced the Maypole since 1912, 
though the ceremony has been through many changes over the 
decades. May Day in the early 1900s involved freshwomen who 
decorated senior doors with may baskets while sophomores enter- 
tained them with traditional college songs. By the 1960's May Day 
had condensed into a Sophomore-Senior event, and students no 
longer crowned the Senior Class president as "Queen of the May." 
Tree planting and gift giving had replaced the coronation, but the 
maypole dance and strawberry shortcake breakfast remained un- 
changed.

This year's Senior Week planners 
worked hard to provide an afford- 
able week of activities for gradu- 
ating seniors and their guests. The 
trip to Medieval Manor was a re- 
spond to public demand, and the 
Commencement Ball is of course 
an annual event in the Simmons 
calendar. Other events included a 
night at the Golf Club and other 
local nightspots. Commencement 
Ball was slow in getting started, 
as participants awaited the arrival 
of the disc jockey, but Seniors 
amused themselves in the recep- 
tion area. A scrapbook of Com- 
mencement Ball memories is col- 
lected on the opposite page.

One hour before the 1995 yearbook 
was to be presented to the College 
community, and dedicated to the 
memory of Dr. Richard Nickerson, 
the shipment of books had not yet 
arrived from State College, PA. Late 
completion of pages (and a national 
truckers strike) had delayed deliv- 
ery, but at the last moment they did 
arrive and were proudly presented to 
assembled students, administrators, 
and faculty.
